Isaiah 29:13-16

English Standard Version

¹³ And the Lord said:
“Because ^(A)this people ^(B)draw near with their mouth
    and honor me with their lips,
    while their hearts are far from me,
and their fear of me is a commandment taught by men,
¹⁴ therefore, behold, ^(C)I will again
    do wonderful things with this people,
    with wonder upon wonder;
and ^(D)the wisdom of their wise men shall perish,
    and the discernment of their discerning men shall be hidden.”

¹⁵ Ah, ^(E)you who hide deep from the Lord your counsel,
    whose deeds are ^(F)in the dark,
    and who say, “Who sees us? Who knows us?”
^16 (G)You turn things upside down!
Shall the potter be regarded as the clay,
that the thing made should say of its maker,
    “He did not make me”;
or the thing formed say of him who formed it,
    “He has no understanding”?
